Which animal is the tallest? What actually separates a frog from a toad? This fact-packed book answers questions like these and many more, pairing breathtaking images with incredible detail to turn readers into genuine animal experts. From the tiniest creepy crawlies to the mighty blue whale, it covers behaviour and evolution, body systems and senses, and the wide range of habitats and diets across the animal kingdom. There’s insight into what life is really like for a wildlife expert studying creatures in their natural habitat, alongside stories of animals lost to extinction millions of years ago and the conservation efforts protecting those on the brink today. Myths and legends from cultures around the world also get a look-in, explaining why certain animals loom so large in folklore. Now more interactive and colourful than ever, with new infographics, statistics, facts, and timelines plus a giant fold-out wall chart for bedrooms or classrooms, this is a brilliant resource for school projects – or simply for animal-mad readers who can’t get enough facts.
